The weather is gradually approaching autumn.

On a secret path in Suizhou Prefecture, a group of more than a dozen people rode their horses and ran wildly.

Each of these dozen people was more or less injured. The man with a black face had a half feather arrow left under his ribs, but it was obvious that he had been injured for a long time and no longer had bloodshed.

There were more than a dozen people protecting a child in the middle. The child was about teenagers, his little face was pale, and there was a long bloody mouth on his face, which had slowly begun to condense scabs.

The strong man with black face looked around and gritted his teeth and said, "This is Suizhou, and further west is Xiangyang City. After passing Xiangyang, you will be able to reach Ankang soon. If you reach Ankang Mansion, we will be safe!"

This group of people used to be Chen Gang, the Sixth Prince and others.

They took a huge risk to bring the sixth prince out of Shaoxing Mansion, but this kind of thing was impossible to do quietly. Not long after they left Shaoxing Mansion, they were discovered by the people of the Xie family, and then they chased them up and chased them all the way from Shaoxing Mansion to Suizhou!

When it was the second half of the escape, the plum blossom guards of the court also participated. They rode horses behind Shen Gang and others, causing great trouble for Chen Gang.

Along the way, in order to cover the Sixth Prince, at least dozens of people in the Anbu died, and almost all of them were "old men" who had been working in the Anbu for several years or even more than ten years. Everyone was extremely precious.

Moreover, these Yulin Guards seemed to have received some orders, completely ignoring the life of the Sixth Prince. There was even a crossbow arrow that flew over the Sixth Prince's cheek!

The arrow was slightly above half an inch, and the legitimate son of the late emperor would immediately die!

Fortunately, Shen Gang and others were quite experienced. After sacrificing dozens of people, they brought the Sixth Prince to Suizhou. At this time, there were only a dozen people left in their group, almost everyone was injured. Among them, Chen Gang was the worst injured. He was nearly an inch of the flesh under his ribs and injured his bones. He was only supported by himself.

Now that he has to remove his aide, he will immediately lie on the ground and be unable to move!

Zhao Yi also ran away with them. He was walking beside Shen Gang. A small piece of flesh was wiped off by a crossbow arrow from his calf, but the injury was not too serious and could barely support him.

He and Chen Gang walked in parallel, lowered their voices and asked, "Uncle Chen, didn't you ask for help from your adoptive father in Shaoxing? Why did you go all the way to Suizhou? Your adoptive father still..."

While riding a horse, Chen Gang said in a deep voice: "The Marquis' power is only at Ankang. There is still a Xiangyang between Ankang and Suizhou. It is not easy for the southwest forces to reach Suizhou."

He just finished speaking, and only a "swoosh" roar was heard. A crossbow arrow shot from behind, but it did not hit the person and was nailed straight into the big tree next to it.

Chen Gang and Zhao Yi changed their faces at the same time.

This is a crossbow that only exists in the imperial guards of the imperial court, and the plum blossom guards are also equipped. Obviously, the plum blossom guards who had chased them for nearly a thousand miles all the way and once again chased them.

The Xie family in Shanyin is a scholarly family. The servants in the family will not have much combat power. In fact, the casualties of the Anmen along the way, including the injuries on more than a dozen of them, were almost all thanks to the Plum Blossom Guard!

After the first roar, more than a dozen roars came one after another. Although most of them were shot on the trees, there were still one or two people who were shot in the arrow. Among the more than a dozen, two more people fell from the horse and fell into the dust.

Chen Gang has been used to the wind and rain for so many years. He immediately made a decision, turned his head to look at Zhao Yi, and said in a deep voice: "Young Master Zhao, take the Sixth Prince to continue walking westward, let us stay in the palace behind!"

Although Zhao Yi was precocious, he was still a fifteen-year-old boy after all. Under such circumstances, he was suddenly a little panicked.

"Uncle Chen, I..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Gang shouted in a low voice: "After procrastinating for a while, we will all die here. It doesn't matter if we die. If the Sixth Prince dies here, our brothers will all die in vain along the way!"

Zhao Yi nodded in dismay, took the fainted sixth prince from a secret hand, placed it in front of him, and then shook the reins hard and ran towards the west.

The two young men ran all the way for about half a stick of incense. Zhao Yi's eyes were blurred because of his strength, but vaguely, he heard a familiar voice.

"Protect these two children."

After hearing this sound, Zhao Yi's eyes turned dark and fainted.

Li Xin looked at Zhao Yi who fainted in front of him. Without having time to investigate carefully, he yelled at the hundreds of riders behind him and said, "Chen Gang is still behind him, leaving twenty people here to watch these two children, and the rest will go with me to pick him up!"

These four or five hundred cavalry were the personal guard camps formed by Li Xin based on the Yulin Guards of that year. They were his personal soldiers. He immediately shouted in unison when he heard this: "Yes!"

Four or five hundred people followed this path and rushed towards the direction where Chen Gang was.

This remote path was stained with a lot of blood.

……………………

When Zhao Yi woke up again, it was already the next afternoon. He was lying in a carriage, walking on a not-wide path, swaying forward.

Li Xin, dressed in black, sat quietly beside him.

Zhao Yi quickly struggled to sit up, lowered his head and said, "Entertainment Father."

"Lying down and rest."

When Li Xin saw that he woke up, he breathed a sigh of relief and showed a faint smile on his face.

"You were slightly injured and lost your strength again. You need to rest for a few days. Fortunately, you have nothing to do. If you leave something, I really can't explain to Brother You'an."

Zhao Yi moved, feeling pain everywhere on his body. He endured the pain and asked, "Godfather, Uncle Chen... what's wrong with him?"

“It was very serious injury.”

The smile on Li Xin's face disappeared and he frowned and said, "He has three arrow wounds on his body. Maybe he can save his life, but at least he will have to take care of it for several years."

Hearing that Chen Gang was not dead, Zhao Yi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Where is that sixth prince?"

“He’s very good.”

Li Xin had a blank expression: "Doctors of people died in my Anbu. He only hurt his face. If he had known this day, he would not have let you go to Shanyin."

Zhao Yi lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the plum blossom guards in the court were so powerful. We were already paying great attention to hiding whereabouts along the way, but they were bitten tightly by them like gangrene. It was not because of the timely arrival of my godfather, so we probably wouldn't be able to survive."

"I've come too late."

Li Xin frowned slightly and said, "I have a lot of trouble to bypass Xiangyang and Suizhou. I asked the Southwest Army to send troops to support Xiangyang and attract the attention of Xiangyang, so that I can rush to Suizhou to pick you up, otherwise I wouldn't have been like this."

Speaking of this, Li Xin reached out and patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder.

"If you wake up, I'll feel relieved. We are already on the way back to the southwest. You can rest assured and don't think about anything else."

Zhao Yi nodded and asked, "Godfather, that sixth prince..."

Li Xin had already lifted the curtain of the carriage at this moment. He looked back at Zhao Yi and said, "You are doing well."
